Top 10 Must-Have Stationery Supplies for Every Desk in 2025

1. Aesthetic Daily Planner

Stay on top of your schedule with a daily or weekly planner that blends function with beauty. Look for designs with clean layouts, calming colors, and space for goals, to-do lists, and reflection.

Paper Hug Pick: Our “Plan with Peace” pastel planners keep you organized without overwhelming your day.

2. Soft-Touch Notebooks

Whether you're journaling, note-taking, or brainstorming, a soft-cover or hard-cover notebook with quality paper is essential. Go for ones with dotted, grid, or lined pages depending on your style.

Pro Tip: Having separate notebooks for ideas, meetings, and personal notes helps with mental clarity.

3. Smooth-Glide Gel Pens

No desk is complete without a set of gel pens in soft or neutral tones. Choose pens that glide effortlessly and don’t smudge—bonus points for matching them to your desk aesthetic.

Try this: Pastel gel pens in light pink, mint, and lavender add a touch of calm to every note you write.

4. Sticky Notes & Page Flags

Perfect for reminders, quick notes, or page markers, sticky notes are a true desk staple. Go for pastel tones or cute shapes to brighten up your workspace.

Organize tip: Use color-coded sticky flags to sort tasks by urgency or category.

5. Washi Tapes for Customizing

Add a little creativity to your planners or journals with washi tape—decorative tape that’s easy to peel and reposition. Use it for borders, dividers, or just fun accents.

Trending in 2025: Floral, grid, and minimalist washi patterns in muted pastel colors.

6. Letter Sets & Greeting Cards

Even in the digital age, sending a handwritten note never goes out of style. Keep a few letter sets or notecards on hand for thank-you messages or surprise mail.

Good to have: Cute designs for birthdays, celebrations, or encouragement notes.

7. Desktop Organizers & Holders

Avoid the desk clutter trap with pen holders, paper trays, and drawer organizers that match your style. Acrylic, bamboo, and pastel plastic organizers are all on-trend.

Fun idea: Match your organizer to your stationery theme for a cohesive look.

8. Journaling Supplies

Bullet journals, habit trackers, and mood logs help you stay in touch with your mental wellness. Add some stickers, stamps, and stencils to personalize the pages.

Paper Hug Pick: Our journaling kits include everything you need to start fresh in 2025.

9. Cute Clips & Pins

Say goodbye to boring binder clips! Opt for shaped paper clips, gold push pins, or mini binder clips in pastel or metallic finishes to keep papers in place without sacrificing style.

Tiny but mighty: A small touch that makes a big difference in your desk vibe.

10. Stationery Gift Sets

Why buy everything separately when you can grab a curated set? Perfect as a self-care treat or gift, stationery kits include all your essentials in one pretty package.

Great for: New job, new school year, or a little “just because” pick-me-up.
